Aminoglycosides High doses of parenteral penicillin can inactivate aminoglycosides. In patients receiving low doses of aminoglycosides because of reduced renal function this can be clinically important. Parenteral administration of these drugs in neonatal dosages does not seem to produce relevant inactivation, and so temporal separation of the infusions is not required. Piperacillin protected against aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity without reducing its blood concentration; this was possibly a protective effect of co-administered mineral salts. Ciclosporin …

Respiratory Bronchospasm may be a consequence of penicillin allergy. Acute severe dyspnea with cyanosis has also been observed without symptoms of bronchial obstruction or pulmonary edema. Specific mechanisms for such cases have yet to be identified. Allergic pneumonitis and transient eosinophilic pulmonary infiltrate (Loeffler’s syndrome) are rare. These syndromes have also been observed with penicillin hypersensitivity. In one case, an alveolar allergic reaction, probably due to ampicillin, showed features of an adult respiratory distress syndrome. Nervous system High doses of penicillins, …
[ Continue Reading... ]Penicillin-induced hepatotoxicity may not be as uncommon as has been thought. There have been three reviews. The first was a comparison of the assessment of drug-induced liver injury obtained by two different methods, the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) scale and the Maria & Victorino (M&V) clinical scale. Three independent experts evaluated 215 cases of hepatotoxicity reported using a structured reporting form. There was absolute agreement between the two scales in 18% of cases, but there was no agreement in cases of fulminant hepatitis or death. The authors concluded that the CIOMS instrument is more likely …

They require immediate treatment. Central nervous system infections are fortunately rare, but they are extremely serious. The cerebral cortex and spinal cord are confined within the restricted boundaries of the skull and boney spinal canal. Inflammation and edema therefore have devastating consequences, often leading to tissue infarction that in turn results in permanent neurologic sequelae or death. To understand the pathogenesis and clinical consequences of Central nervous system infections, a …
